A child’s imagination is a wonderful thing, it can take rainy afternoon and turn it into a trip to the moon, an afternoon performing surgery in a teddy bear hospital or adventuring through a jungle with their favourite animal teddy bear friend.
If you home is filled with teddy bears and stuffed toys then your child will always have someone to play with and have adventures to go on, even if they are on their own or in the home.
Imaginative Play with Teddy Bears
Teddy bears are cute, but there is more than just the cuteness factor in the list of benefits for children playing with stuffed toys. Bears 4 U stock not only the cutest teddy bears (all of which can be personalised) but also a great range of stuffed animals. So, whether you want to go on a jungle adventure with a sloth, a tiger, a sausage dog or a penguin Bears 4 U has the toys you need.
Let’s take a look at how to create an imagination jungle with animal soft toys.
Animal Stuffed Toys & Toddlers
As your child hits the toddler stage, this is where the animal teddy bear can be particularly useful. By having a few stuffed animals in common types such as cats, dogs, pigs, bears and cows, children can learn to associate the word and the animal.
Personalised animal teddy bears are also a great way for them to start learning about things like names and letters. Choosing a teddy with a name that starts with the same letter as the child’s is one example. Or even having their name on the teddy so they start to recognise it as they start to notice things like letters.
Parents can use these stuffed animals as aids in teaching many different things to their small child. From going to bed to having their nappy changed, everything can be demonstrated on the teddy before happening to the child and this can make the process easier.
Pre-School Children and Teddies
As your child reaches the preschool years, the imagination jungle becomes even more important as they start to create stories and adventures around their animal teddies. The giraffe can be a ballerina, the cow can be an astronaut or any other combination of unlikely animal and occupation!
The stuffed animal can also become a sounding board for the child to talk about things that are on their mind, especially as they start nursery and are surrounded by new experiences.
School Age Children & Stuffed Animals
The continued use in stories and games will last well into school age years while still using them as something of a comfort. Animals can be assembled into classrooms to be taught by the child or into groups to take on adventures or challenges. These companions will help them understand what they are learning from school.
Kids Love Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals and teddy bears feed a child’s imagination and let them play for hours with their best friends. Making the bears personalised, makes a deeper connection to the child and they will love those stuffed animals and bears for years to come.
